HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINA!
A very happy birthday to Tina Turner! Today, Tina turns 72. That’s right, the queen of rock was born on this day in 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee. Tina will probably be celebrating this special day in Zurich, while her fans are coming together in Amsterdam this weekend for the annual fan birthday party! For those who of you who can’t be with us in Amsterdam, you will find a video of Tina performing the song Open Arms in 2004 on the Swiss tv-show Benissimo. Because this show was recorded a day after her 65th birthday, Tina receives a big birthday shout-out from the audience. Also, don’t forget to post your birthday wishes to Tina in the comments section: she might just read them!

Tina Turner – Steel Claw live audio
A live version of the Tina Turner song Steel Claw. The studio version of this song appeared on Tina’s 1984 album Private Dancer, although she had already been performing this song in her live shows since the early 1980′s. The song is written by Paul Brady, an Irish singer-songwriter who also wrote the song Paradise Is Here that was featured on Tina’s 1986 Break Every Rule album. This live version of Steel Claw was featured as a b-side on several versions of the singles I Don’t Wanna Lose You and Look Me In The Heart, from her 1989 album Foreign Affair. It is unclear where this live version was recorded, the notes on the singles only state ‘recorded in Europe’. It was probably a leftover track from the recordings for her 1988 live album Tina Live in Europe. Click below to listen to the song and to read the lyrics.
